This repository contains software tools to create and visualise sky map data, primarily in HEALPix format. The code is mainly developed for Python 3, but Python 2 from version 2.7 onwards should work fine.
The software is primarily developed and maintained by Fabian Jankowski. For more information feel free to contact me via: fabian.jankowski at cnrs-orleans.fr.
The corresponding paper (Jankowski et al. 2023, MNRAS) is available via this NASA ADS link.
If you make use of the software, please add a link to this repository and cite our corresponding paper. See above and the CITATION and CITATION.bib files.
The easiest and recommended way to install the software is through pip directly from its GitHub repository. For example, to install the master branch of the code, use the following command:
pip install git+https://github.com/fjankowsk/skymap.git@master
This will automatically install all dependencies.
